    "Two people were arrested soon after the shooting, but were later released.[52] One was a libertarian conservative who was arrested on campus grounds after claiming to have shot Kirk.[53] He later told police he "was glad he said he shot the individual so the real suspect could get away".[54] He reportedly had a history of mental health issues and was known to Utah authorities for his habit of disrupting public events.[53] He was taken to a hospital.[54] After his release on September 14, he was admitted into jail for obstruction of justice; after police discovered over 20 images of child sexual abuse on his phone, he was also charged with sexual exploitation of minors. On December 17, the man waived his right to a preliminary hearing.[55]"

    Okay, makes sense. Is that the guy in the emoji ( proven-wrong-1 )? That's the dude I'm interested in, not the guy who said he shot Kirk.

    Sometimes I wake up very depressed by my ability to navigate this horrible wasteland of a planet. Then I'm reminded that I am not the dumbest person here by a mile.

    First thought: it’d be really funny for someone to do a selfie in the tent with a strategically placed squib on them.

    Second thought: it’s the weekend before Christmas, don’t these people have shopping and decorating and making Christmas cookies to do? I swear the people who do the most kvetching about the death of “traditional” culture are the ones who take the least joy in those festivities.

    The american right wing is essentially tens of millions of people formed up together around various personality influencers that they like.

    When you eliminate the influencer, you scatted some of that right wing into the winds and if they do not land on another right wing influencer the right essentially loses traction and control over them. Their views slide out of alignment with the rest of the right as they start thinking for themselves (however wrongly) and no longer have someone else injecting thoughts into them. This causes conflict within the right as views become less unified.

    These influencers have replaced news channels, radio, and newspapers in people's daily diet of bullshit. The thing is though, you couldn't destroy a newspaper or a news channel in the past. They didn't die overnight because one newscaster that everyone liked left the channel or paper.

    These modern newspapers can die, and it takes many years to build them up in the first place.

    You can't kill an idea, or a strong ideological movement. But you can kill a cult of personality.

    The modern right can be killed, in a way that they have been trying to kill communism since Marx's day and never could.

    Yes exactly. It's actually starting to make new-media look very tenuous for them. What happens if class war gets really heavy? They won't have influencers because they'll be toast and it takes years to build them up.

    All other things are structured as organisations that are not reliant upon one person's entertaining persona. If these personas die or get spooked enough the result is a significant loss of influence unlike anything that has been possible in the past.

    It's not going to stop people being right wing but it's going to stop the right wing being coordinated and united in thought which creates a whole mess for them.

    I also haven't really seen any repercussions for Kirk or Luigi. Nobody gives a shit about them, including the right and their crocodile tears. There's that whole Trump antifa designated terrorism thing but I'm pretty sure he was going to do that anyway so I don't think it's actually been caused by it.

    I imagine this...

    Comments to the MSM: "It's a biggest tragedy in American history that Charlie Kirk was murdered. This proves the hatred and discrimination Christians face in America every single day. And when I go to Starbucks and I give my name as 'Charlie Kirk' - it's sad - very, very sad - how many people don't understand..."

    Comments to each other: "O! M! G! Let's go to the tent! Selfie time!"

    They need to do an escape room where the premise is that you need to smuggle out bloody Charlie Kirk merch.

    You can see all around people are saying, like ‘For Charlie,’ they're wearing replicas of the shirt that Charlie Kirk was wearing when he was killed

    Bit idea: this but with the blood stains
